Twice runner-up before winning a C&D maiden in May; well beaten when favourite on handicap debut in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot (won by a stablemate); looked short of pace when third of eight in a 1m4f handicap at Goodwood; extra two furlongs should help.

Runner-up to notable rivals on first two starts before winning 1m4f maiden at Leopardstown (good) in May; well beaten when favourite on handicap debut in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) but he raced in the rear and things didn't go his way tactically; Irish stable won this last year and he might be worth another chance.

Showed decent 2yo form, winning a Galway maiden on second start and running creditably behind stablemates in pattern races after; not a bad return in the 1m6f Listed Vinnie Roe Stakes here but needs lots more today.

J: Ronan Whelan

One of three for yard; ran green on debut at Fairyhouse but much more like it when making all under Ronan Whelan for an easy 3.25l win second time up at Galway (8.5f, soft); won't mind if there's any rain and he could make a bold bid.

Form & Verdict
Some promise in two runs as a juvenile; improved from his seasonal debut here to win a Curragh maiden, both over 1m2f; did well on the latter occasion as he had to wait for room; backed that up with victory in a four-runner event over 1m5f here four weeks ago; speedy pedigree on the dam's side, stamina derived from his sire.
